Some Questions to Ask When Evaluating Tower Erection Companies for Your Projects

by | Sep 3, 2015 | Cell Phone Towers

Tower Erection in Minnesota and the surrounding area is at an all-time high, thanks to our ever-growing need to stay connected wherever we go. This is good news for cellular carriers, energy companies, and the owners of the towers that supply service. However, it means finding the right contractor to perform the erection of these towers.

How can you know that the company you’re hiring to perform this work is the right fit? Ask yourself the following questions, for starters:

Will they stand by their work once a tower is erected?
Tower erection is just the beginning. What happens should an issue arise? Will you receive 24/7 support in case of an outage? Is your tower erector willing to provide ongoing service in the form of regular audits and inspections? How frequently will these services be performed? Does the company use the most up-to-date testing equipment to troubleshoot quickly any issues?

What kinds of towers have they built?
You’ll want to find a tower erector with experience in the erection of a variety of towers. Monopole, self-supporting lattice and guyed towers are all commonplace. But our desire for connection and communication brings with it an ever-increasing number of cellular towers blocking the view. Often, when a tower is erected near a residential area, residents complain. Stealth Towers are the answer in these situations, so find out if the company you’re contracting for tower erection in Minnesota has experience with them should the need arise.

How reliable are they?
Not only does the quality of the work performed have to be top-notch, but a good contractor stands by everything they say and do. If they promise short downtimes in case of system modification, for instance, they should be able to back up their promise. The best solution lies in a company that treats your business like their own – your issues will be treated as their issues, with just as much care and consideration devoted to finding solutions.

What do their values reflect?
The word “values” carries some connotations, but in this case it means the culture that’s been created within the company and how it reflects the standards upheld. Does the company in question use subcontractors (as it is commonly the case), or do they train their employees? What are their standards of safety? Do they make it a point to train their employees in not only the most innovative methods but also in incident prevention and awareness? Have they created a safe and rewarding working environment?
